Hoplistopus butti is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from South Africa and Namibia.[2]
It is very similar to Hoplistopus penricei, but the body and wings are whitish grey and much paler. The forewing upperside has a black line in the discal cell, and one or more black lines on the disc between the veins. There is an oblique, black, apical stripe and two parallel, weakly marked S-shaped discal lines, followed distally with a linear patch representing a third line near the hind margin.
